With Works by SARAH BRIDGLAND/MARC COWAN/GODFRIED DONKOR/CLOVER PEAKE MIYUKI KASAHARA/NATASHA VICARS
Books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them... they are as lively, and as vigorously productive, as those fabulous dragon’s teeth. – Milton, Areopagitica

Six artists take inspiration from the collection at Milton’s Cottage – only surviving home of the visionary poet, parliamentarian and political writer, John Milton.

Displayed alongside the books, paintings and prints that inspired them, Beyond Words is the first contemporary art exhibition in the 129 year history of Milton’s Cottage.

The original drawing is based on an installation called "Civilisation". Civilisation consists of 1000 objects collected from the Thames beach and a skull fashioned into an albatross. Images of this work is here: http://www.miyukikasahara.com/index.htm

This installation resembles the remains of an Albatross using a thousand materials all used and thrown away by us. I collected these materials during walks along the Thames beach. Midway Atoll (U.S) in the North Pacific Ocean, although it is located over 2000 miles away from human habitation receives a large amount of marine debris, 90% of which is plastic. Of the 1.5million Laysan Albatross inhabiting Midway, nearly all are found with plastic in their digestive systems.

Nunhead Open 10 Art Exhibition 2014, 19 - 21 September 2014

I am showing an art installation "Mebaru Spring"at the Nunhead Corner basement, as a part of Nunhead Open 10. I used the entire space to create an aquatic atmosphere.

"Mebaru Spring"A school of fish installation. Each fish has a number on showing their radioactive Cesium level (Cs-134 + Cs-137) and the dates they were caught in the port of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. Mebaru are common rockfish known as 'messengers telling of the arrival of spring' in Japan. The data is based on the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) reports of the last 18 months. This work grows as new data is added with each showing.

I am looking at the history of the settlement movement in the United Kingdom. It was a reformist social movement that began in 1884.
Increasingly concerns with poverty gave rise to those connected to universities settling students in the inner city to live and work alongside local people. Through their efforts settlement houses were established for education, health, sports, and arts.Cambridge House is one of the earliest settlement houses and is still very active. Each sculpture has the name of the settlement house and the current location.
It is mapped across the space and includes the settlement houses opened in the UK from 1884 to 1940.
The work traces their history and shows that some are still active (the doorway is open) and some no longer exist (the doorway is closed).
This site-specific work is created for Lucky Dip, Camberwell Arts Festival 2014.

'From the first daubings of pre-historic caves, through the invention of the camera obscura and ready-made oil paint in tubes to the use of digital media, artists have been among the first to embrace and exploit new technologies'

In May 2013 Miyuki Kasahara and Calum F. Kerr walked various points along the ‘nuclear corridor’ of the Rhone Valley, France. Their experiences were recorded through sound and film and informed by local folklore. They traversed amongst others Marcule Nuclear Research Facility and Tricastin near Pierrelatte, one of the largest Nuclear plants run by major suppliers Areva and *EDF. This was part of theDecentrederspace residencies, based in Marseille, a yearlong exploration of Marseille-Provence, the European Capital of Culture 2013.*EDF is one of the major sponsors of Marseille-Provence Capital of Culture 2013.
